Answer / divay chadha

3core-185 sq. mm

Calculation:-

Current at HT = (1500 x 1.4)/ (33*1.732)

Is This Answer Correct ? 223 Yes 127 No

Answer / s.srinivasan

Generally HT cable sizing is not done based on the full

load current of the equipment but based on the prospective
fault level. For a 11kV network, generally it shall not be
less than 150sqmm XLPE.

Fault level at 11kV(furnished by respective EB)=100 MVA(say)

Details on EB's fault level can be obtained from EB.

Therefore fault current= 100*1000/(SQRT(3)*11000)

= 5.25 kA

Short circuit current rating (for 3-sec duration)of HT 11kV

XLPE cables with Alu conductor is as below:
95 sqmm: 5.16 kA
120 sqmm: 6.51 kA
150 sqmm: 8.14 kA

please slect your cable in 11kv py side how much current
check first after you slect your ht cable.

Answer / neeraj tyagi

simple for 11kv

Amp in HT= kva*1000/ 1.732*11000

= size for 78 amp HT XLPE 3 core 95 mm2 higher side.

Is This Answer Correct ? 87 Yes 47 No

Answer / gb

11kv----13 amps on primary side

1500 kva 1.4 = 2100 amps on secondary

Is This Answer Correct ? 41 Yes 27 No

Answer / madhu mohan

First calculate the current of primary side(HT) and derate the cable by atleast 0.7.
Eg:1500*1000/(1.732*11000)=78.73A
Current I after Derating =78.73/.7 =112A (0.7 if laid on the trays or value will vary if buried
in the ground).
Cable equivalent to rating has to be selected.
Now Short circuit withstand capacity (sq. of I X t in sec) has to be checked from the cable
catalogue.This value of cable should be higher then SC withstand capacity of the ground
usually it is 50KA.it less go for next size and finalise.

Answer / sairaj

90 Sq.mm Al Ar XLPE cable is sufficient. But as per statutory norms for 11kV, 185 Sq.mm
Cable is considered.

Is This Answer Correct ? 14 Yes 9 No

Answer / uday

1500kVA X 0.8 PF = 1200Kw = 1200000W

2/5
P=RT3 V I COS fi

SO, P
I = -----------
RT3 x V x COSfi

1200000
I = -----------------
1.732x1100x0.8

= 79 A

Now take cable table and select the suitable xlpe cable.

Answer / saad yar khan

Where can I get the chart for selecting HT cable based on 1500KVA i.e 78Amp

Is This Answer Correct ? 0 Yes 1 No

Answer / rasel-amie

HT Cable select, its depend of incoming capacity of feeder

line. say feeder capacity 100 MVA SO Calculate current I=
100*100/11*1.73=5.25kA. So we can select of HT Cable for
minimum short ckt current carrying capacity of minimum 5.2kA.

Is This Answer Correct ? 10 Yes 12 No
